Some People's Lives

Some people's lives

Run down like clocks

One day they stop

That's all they've got

Some lives wear out

Like old tennis shoes

No one can use

It's sad, but it's true

Didn't anybody tell them?

Didn't anybody see?

Didn't anybody love them

Like you love me?

Some people's eyes

Fade like their dreams

Too tired to rise

Too tired to sleep

And some people laugh

When they need to cry

And they never know why

Didn't anybody tell them

That's not how it has to be?

Didn't anybody love them

Like you love me?

Some people ask—

If the tears have to fall

Then why take your chances?

Why bother at all?

And some people's lives

Are as cold as their lips

They just need to be kissed

Doesn't anybody tell them?

Doesn't anybody see?

Doesn't anybody love them

Like you love me?

'Cause that's all they need
